AFTER The Circuit Breaker Ends: What To Expect Come 2 June In Singapore

As Singapore enters the final stretch of its circuit breaker period slated to end 1 June, some measures will be gradually eased, with safety measures put in place to continue reducing the spread of Covid-19 here.

But they could be amended further if the health situation changes, such as if community cases of the coronavirus rise.

Here is how some changes are being made to safe distancing measures from 2 June, announced by the government on Tuesday, 19 May. (Note: Local schools are set to reopen in two phases, while international schools may follow individual schedules. Consult directly with your child’s school to know more.)

1. Home and Community Socialising

– Social, economic and entertainment activities that carry higher risks will remain closed. People should continue to leave home only for essential activities, and should wear a mask when doing so.

– Senior citizens should continue to stay at home as much as possible.

– The current measures limiting senior citizen services and senior-centric activities will remain. But senior activity centres will gradually resume some activities in a safe and controlled manner.

– Community based centre services for people with disabilities will gradually re-open, with safe distancing measures in place and activities held in smaller groups.

– Each household will be allowed to visit their parents or grandparents staying elsewhere. Each receiving household should limit visits to one per day, and to not more than two visitors, who must be from the same household.

5. National Service

– For about 1,700 police and Singapore Civil Defence Force trainees, their reporting dates will be between May 26 to June 8.

– Health and safety measures will be put in place, including staggered reporting dates which will allow safe distancing measures to be implemented, as well as health screening for all trainees and instructors when they return for training.

– Those who have symptoms of respiratory infection will be immediately separated from the rest and tested for Covid-19.
